On this day in 1996, israel launched a 16 day campaign of slaughter on southern Lebanon that subjected the region to mass killing, forced displacement, and ethnic cleansing. The enemy called this campaign “operation grapes of wrath.” Across the South, from villages to agricultural lands, civilian life was systematically dismantled. Homes, roads, power infrastructure, and water sources were bombed. Over 400,000 Lebanese, largely from the Shia population of south Lebanon, were forcibly displaced within days. Entire communities were emptied under fire. At the center of this campaign was the Qana massacre. israel shelled a UN compound sheltering civilians, killing more than 100 people, the majority women, children, and elderly. Many of the martyrs were recovered dismembered and unrecognizable due to the intensity of the bombardment. Infants were found with missing heads. In the Mansouri massacre, ambulances evacuating wounded civilians were directly targeted and struck. Those inside, including the injured and those assisting them, were killed or wounded. Rescue efforts themselves became targets, as they continue to be today. Tens of other massacres targeting civilian convoys, homes, and shelters were carried out across south Lebanon during this period, producing repeated mass casualties, with bodies fragmented and disintegrated by shelling and civilians killed while attempting to flee. The role of UNIFIL was also exposed. Investigations concluded that its positions were compromised, with israeli forces maintaining surveillance and targeting of areas under UN protection, leaving civilians who sought refuge there vulnerable. This ethnic cleansing constituted collective punishment driving civilians from their land through sustained violence to further the israeli occupation of southern Lebanon and deter resistance after years of ongoing occupation since 1982.

I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.

This boy jumped for joy welcoming the pope in Lebanon in November and today they pulled his body from the rubble after Israel’s bombing. Last year, only 5 members of Congress voted with me when I tried to defund Israel, who bombs and kills the innocent.

Israel 🇮🇱 gives it’s response to a ‘ceasefire’: •50 🇮🇱 jets dropped 160 bombs in 1 min •100 Lebanon 🇱🇧 sites bombed in 10 mins •multiple Lebanon 🇱🇧residential locations •300 plus people murdered Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah state Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

Netanyahu launches terror attack on Beirut, destroying Trump’s ceasefire. We need to detach from Israel immediately.
